The advanced Linux networking book for experienced Linux administrators in mission-critical environments!
Expert-level techniques and solutions for low-level configuration, LAN and Internet servers, network security, and routing.
In-depth coverage not found in conventional Linux networking guides — from running Linux time servers to advanced Samba scripting.
Coverage addresses every leading Linux distribution for business- Red Hat, Mandrake, TurboLinux, Caldera, SuSE, Debian, and Slackware. Increasingly, Linux is used to drive networks in mission-critical environments — and system/network administrators working in those environments must have far deeper expertise than ever before. Advanced Linux Networking picks up where conventional Linux books leave off, helping experienced Linux system and network administrators accomplish more — and solve more problems — than they can with any other book. Its breadth and depth make it an exceptional single-volume reference for every Linux professional. The book is structured into four sections, each essential to the working Linux administrator- Low-Level Configuration, Local Network Servers, Internet Servers, and Network Security and Router Functions. In-depth coverage includes- kernel and TCP/IP configuration, alternative network stacks, serverstartup scripting, DHCP configuration, Kerberos authentication, printer sharing, mail protocols, remote login servers, GUI access, remote system administration, network backups, iptables firewalls, and VPNs. The books extensive section on Internet services shows how to handle virtual domains and secure sites; analyze Apache log files; and run FTP servers; and contains detailed coverage of SMTP-based email systems. Among the topics covered in exceptional depth- configuring Kerberos; running time servers, font servers, and chroot jails; and using Sambas scripting capabilities to burn CDs and create PDFs. For every experienced Linux system or network administrator, and for Linux power users with network-related responsibilities.

This book will get you up to speed quickly on Fedora Linux, a securely-designed Linux distribution that includes a massive selection of free software packages. Fedora is hardened out-of-the-box, it’s easy to install, and extensively customizable - and this book shows you how to make Fedora work for you.

Fedora Linux: A Complete Guide to Red Hat’s Community Distribution will take you deep into essential Fedora tasks and activities by presenting them in easy-to-learn modules. From installation and configuration through advanced topics such as administration, security, and virtualization, this book captures the important details of how Fedora Core works–without the fluff that bogs down other books and help/how-to web sites. Instead, you can learn from a concise task-based approach to using Fedora as both a desktop and server operating system.
In this book, you’ll learn how to:

* Install Fedora and perform basic administrative tasks
* Configure the KDE and GNOME desktops
* Get power management working on your notebook computer and hop on a wired or wireless network
* Find, install, and update any of the thousands of packages available for Fedora
* Perform backups, increase reliability with RAID, and manage your disks with logical volumes
* Set up a server with file sharing, DNS, DHCP, email, a Web server, and more
* Work with Fedora’s security features including SELinux, PAM, and Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Whether you are running the stable version of Fedora Core or bleeding-edge Rawhide releases, this book has something for every level of user. The modular, lab-based approach not only shows you how things work-but also explains why–and provides you with the answers you need to get up and running with Fedora Linux.

Linux Bible 2006 Edition is here to open your eyes to what Linux is, where it came from, and where it’s going. But, most of all, the book is here to hand you Linux and help you get started. Because Linux is the operating system of free speech and free choice, Linux Bible gives you choices in selecting the Linux that is right for you.

Unlike other books on Linux, this book doesn’t tie you to one Linux distribution. The book teaches you the essentials of Linux graphical interfaces, shell commands, and basic system administration. Separate chapters break down most of the major Linux distributions available today. Then descriptions of the major software projects in most Linux distributions (KDE and GNOME desktops, Apache Web servers, Samba file and printer sharing, and so on) guide you in setting up and using those features, regardless of which Linux you choose.
